A popular novel written by the famous Jules Verne, which involves two fellows by the name of Phileas Fogg and his butler Passepartout to travel around the world in 80 days for the wager of 20,000 pounds. They travel and explore numerous countries in their race around the world.
Several film adaptations of the novel have been produced. By far the best version of the novel was the 1956 version which starred David Niven, Cantinflas, Robert Newton and Shirley MacLane. It won 5 Academy Awards including Best Picture, beating The Ten Commandments and The King and I.
More recently it a Disney film version of the novel was released in 2004, starring Jackie Chan, Steve Coogan and various cameo appearances from big name stars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Owen Wilson. The film was a massive box office disaster and generally panned by the critics.

Read the book and buy the 1956 verison but avoid the Disney remake like the plague. If you want a good Jackie Chan flick, watch Police Story or Project A instead.

"I want to become The Biggest Gamecocks Fan in the World"
by The Truth Don't Argue November 13, 2019
That one book your AP World teacher requires you to read, but you never really understand the purpose of the book. Although your teacher gives you plenty of time to read the book, you will always procrastinate and read it the class period before. The book itself is split into six parts: beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and cola. Each part is mind-numbing and confusing and you'll eventually just get lost in what is going on. After finishing the book, I genuinely still have no idea why this book is so essential to understand world history.
Bob: Hey, wanna read A History of the World in 6 Glasses?
Any Reasonable Human Being: Why, does it look like I want to torture myself? You need to get checked out man...
Bob: Be nice, this book has some redeeming qualities.
ARHB(to themselves): Wow this dude is gonna stay a virgin his whole life.
In A History of the World in Six Glasses...
Chapter 2: Wine
**** ACTUAL EXCERPT ****
Wine was important, but yet it wasn't that important. Only the rich dudes could get it, but poor people could not. Some dudes diluted, while some dudes were raw. However, this brings up the question "Was the use of wine foreshadowing the development of the printing press and the Scientific Revolution?" However, the most important point out of all of this is that wahmen couldn't drink it, so wine is sexist. Therefore, you shouldn't drink wine because it was sexist.

A high school program where the most talented students in the Miami-Dade area (sometimes Broward shhh) can attend in order to train, polish, and develop their artistic skills, while taking regular academia to graduate high school. All this while attempting to co-exist in a dramatic environment that simulates a bad tele-novela.
Women graduate with the lesson that there is no such thing as a straight Musical theater performer and all men learn the "hard"-earned lesson that THEY'RE GAY!
